Mackay is offering new options to the Row / Shell Trailer marketplace with its lightweight Aluminium Trailer. Established nearly forty years ago, Mackay Multi-Link is a highly regarded manufacturer of boat, and other custom Trailers. Mackay has produced an innovative design concept to maximise the benfits of the aluminium trailer’s structure i.e. lightweight, corrosion resistance, aesthetics; while retaining strength, rigidity and practicality. Where Aluminium is not used, Mackay uses galvanised Steel axles, springs, hubs, U-bolts and fasteners – to maximise resistance against corrosion. With most clubs storing their trailers outdoors, having a ‘corrosion proof’ investment saves time and $ on maintenance and can last forever. The Mackay Aluminium Shell trailer provides major benefits:
- Lighter than steel trailers, yet ultra strong.
- Corrosion proof / and easy to maintain.
- Brilliant Aesthetics.
- Easily Adjustable axle positions – if centre of gravity needs to be changed – for improved towing dynamics.
- Low to the ground for better towing.
- Many other features including.
- Removable internal barriers.
- Removable extendable racks.
- Wrap around “C-Channel” rubber on racks so no chance of damaging the shells.
- Self draining floor / no no build up of water.
- Tie downs.
- Options for high level steps and other oar holder designs.
- Lockable storage box.
- Single and Tandem axles options available.
- Cost effective.
- A lifetime investment.
The trailer allows towing of more sculls with (possibly) a smaller vehicle – given the weight benefits of the trailer; and also is easier to maintain.
